Abstract

We study a variational problem which was introduced by Hannon, Marcus and Mizel [ESAIM: COCV9 (2003) 145–149] to describe step-terraces on surfaces of so-called “unorthodox” crystals. We show that there is no nondegenerate intervals on which the absolute value of a minimizer is π / 2 identically.
